I fell in love with Ruche's Falling Star Metalic Dress (http://shopruche.com/falling-star-metallic-dress.html). While I would wear this fabulous frock just about anywhere, I think it'd be especially fitting for a New Year's Eve party. The metallic gold fabric is perfect for such an event. Who doesn't want to ring in 2013 dripping in gold?

I'd sport this one: http://shopruche.com/spark-of-light-metallic-maxi-dress.html to a new years eve party. It would keep my legs warm as I scurry from car to house and shaving is optional! And of course it's beautiful to boot!Thanks for the giveaway!

Spark of Light metallic dress is IT! And I would definitely wear it with the fur bolero. I would wear it to Ramsey's at the Club in LA for a nice night out with my hubby (if we could get a babysitter!). :)

I really love the lace blouse with green http://shopruche.com/holiday-dresses/lace-blouse.html I could see myself dressing it up with a great skirt to a fancy holiday party or wear it with jeans to open gifts. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

The golden girl scalloped dress and the accessories they paired with it are my favorite! http://shopruche.com/holiday-dresses/1950s-dress.html I would wear out with my girlfriends when we get together to celebrate Christmas and exchange gifts :)

Oh goodness, I've been eying up some of the sparkly Ruche stuff lately for upcoming holiday celebrations. I absolutely want a killer dress to wear to our End of Days party coming up on 12/21. :) I LOVE both of these: http://shopruche.com/spark-of-light-metallic-maxi-dress.htmland http://shopruche.com/falling-star-metallic-dress.html

This dress is lovely! Especially with the slip underneath! I'd wear to my families Christmas dinner and then to our Christmas Eve service at church. http://shopruche.com/leona-tunic-dress-by-darling-uk.html

ooh this dress is so glam: http://shopruche.com/spark-of-light-metallic-maxi-dress.html

My friend's birthday is in late December and he decided to celebrate with a "Classy Party", where everyone has to dress up all fancy like and we'll be drinking martinis and cosmos and this is just the perfect dress for that.

This Christmas is my husband and I's first in our home together instead of traveling. To celebrate we've planned a huge new england christmas feast for just us two, so I'd love to wear this dress when we sit down to our enjoy our meal together. :)

I love this dress and I would wear it to a Christmas Party. http://shopruche.com/penstemon-purple-dress.html Also, I follow Ruche on twitter (@L177).Thanks for the amazing giveaway! :Dsurendene@gmail.com

I love this dress from their holiday look book (http://shopruche.com/spark-of-light-metallic-maxi-dress.html) but they're almost sold out! I tried picking a second, less sold out dress, but I ended up liking one that was completely gone. Whoops. Also, their holiday styling is killing it.

I would wear it to a holiday party my boyfriend and I are planning on going to with our parents. Something else, too, if one of our friends decides to have a swanky party.

The Mid Summer Charm Dress (pg 4 of the dress selection) would be perfect for Christmas Down Under! Spending the holiday meeting my boyfriends family in Oz. It's sure to impress. ;)-Jess Sheppard. Jesssheppard123@gmail.com

My family and I have the tradition of exchanging our gifts on Christmas Eve (Santa comes on Christmas morning, and yes I'm 27 and my husband, brother and sister-in-law are 30+!) It is tradition, also, that while opening our gifts we have our traditional Christmas Even pizza and champagne. The Antonia Dress by Darling would be a perfectly pretty and festive dress (not to mention the perfect dress to discretely conceal the amount of pizza and champagne I intend to eat and imbibe!)

I'm pretty much obsessed with Ruche, and I love some of the 20s silhouettes in their new arrivals, but for me I think I'd pick the Tender is the Night dress: http://shopruche.com/tender-is-the-night-brocade-cutout-dress.html

I am loving all of the fun glittery options they have! but my choice would be the glitzy short gold dress. It would be perfect for our new years in Atlantic City!http://www.bloglovin.com/frame?post=653950835&frame_type=a&blog=908853&link=aHR0cDovL29yY2hpZGdyZXkuYmxvZ3Nwb3QuY29tLzIwMTIvMTIvZ2l2ZWF3YXktd2luLTc1LXRvLXJ1Y2hlLmh0bWw

http://shopruche.com/holiday-dresses/red-dress.html The Passion Within Pleated Dress is my favorite holiday dress from Ruche! I would love to wear it to the Christmas dinner I'm hosting (with help from Ruche's Holiday Guide)! I also follow Ruche on Twitter :) @zacwack zacwack@hotmail.com

http://shopruche.com/30-claire-eco-friendly-dress-in-burgundy.html I could totally see myself wearing this as an everyday look to work or out for a night of fun - like to a holiday party! I also followed Ruche on Twitter (@jessgalle). (galleacct@gmail.com)

http://shopruche.com/tender-is-the-night-brocade-cutout-dress.htmlBrocade, oxblood, perfect vintage silhouette. I think I'd have trouble NOT wearing this dress. But of course, I would wear it to a winter wonderland-themed engagement party for one of my closest friends.With some opaque tights and sky higy suede maryjanes.

I'd get the Jacqueline Tweed Shift Dress and I'd wear it to my friend's Christmas party and maybe Christmas Eve too. I love getting a new dress for the holidays but I've been no too strict a budget this year!

I would totally wear the Starlette Rose Pleated Dress by Eva Franco! I'm a college professor, and have to go from teaching to holiday parties, and this dress would transfer well from one to the other with the switch of a few accessories. Being able to go from a conservative "teacher" look to a glam holiday look isn't easy, but this dress would totally do that.

Such pretty dresses! I like the Rose Champagne Dress (http://shopruche.com/rose-champagne-high-low-dress.html). It would look lovely paired with nude heels, a rose gold sequin clutch bag, and some pretty bangle bracelets and chandelier earrings! :) Would love to wear it to a New Years party and for my birthday which is soon after :) Thanks!

if i had to pick just the dress (not necessarily the look) from the holiday lookbook, i'd have to choose the dreamscape beaded lace dress in black from the second look. cute black dress but tweaked. lmlynch2 at gmail dot com.
